I'm so glad I watched this, I was getting ready to plant lettuce seeds. When should I start lettuce in north FL?
I am just curious about the Fl. Native MW comment. During the migration back south or to Mexico why do the Monarchs need the MW? I thought it was just to lay eggs. If they lay eggs now is that encouraging over wintering then possible freezing to the occasional freezes we have. Dont we want nectar plants for them other than MW? I am learning so much about Monarchs and have raised and released 27 from eggs to butterfly. But this is my first year and I have so much more to learn. Thank you for all your wonderful content. Your the best! Love form east coast of Central Fl. And PLEASE…do not use Tropical MW. Very detrimental to Monarchs.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this post ❤
We have had a very dry July here in SW Florida. I look forward to planting seeds again, it’s very hard to wait. I’m going to try starting indoors under grow lights. My pink eye purple hull beans are getting covered in aphids, but I saw some ladybugs- grateful for natures help. Thanks for the info- so many gardening channels just don’t address our planting seasons here, which are so different from the rest of the country. Great video!
Monarch butterflies are the most aggressive butterflies. I see them not only fighting off other Monarchs, but all other species of butterflies.
I love your tips for our very different ecosystem. God bless.
I'm so excited for fall! I'm going to get my seeds organized and start some!! I haven't really harvested or grown much this summer, except weeds, 😅I'm ready to garden!
I love my monarchs that eat all my milkweed but when I saw my first Zebra long wing in my yard…so geeked out. Thanks to you the inspiration and information you share I regularly see monarchs, swallow tails, gulf flitteraries and whatever those little yellow ones are!
What is the name of the pepper seeds you got? Are they sweet or hot?
I literally just went out and put wildflower seeds next to my squash babies this morning, love the timing of the video 😊
I love it when you talk about native plants and butterfly gardens. We love our Cardinal birds, but they are not allowed in the butterfly garden.😂
You are so informative, love your channel. Been down here in FL 10b for only 5 years, still messes with my head on when to grow, thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Any reason not to plant a bed with Fl native plants mixed with say, beauty berry, beach buttercup all together?
Are you going to sell any of your echinacea flower seeds? I would love it if you did! I live in North Florida and because, I don't know what it is with the seeds from stores or on online for that flower, but I never have any success in direct sowing them in my garden beds, and I have really good soil, but they never germinate! I also have the same problem with trying to grow Lavender from seed as well! I checked out the link for the Florida Wildflower Cooperative and they do not sell purple cone flower by itself, they only include some of that seed in their Pollinator Mixes which are $90.00/lb for the HB1 Honey Bee Specialty Mix or $131.00/lb for SS-D1 Pollinator Conservation Mix, or $181.00/lb for SS-W1 Pollinator Conservation Mix, or $207.00/lb for the SS-BH1 Butterfly and Hummingbird Mix , all of which are way outside of my price range and need for that much seed!
I’m in south west florida. We have had rain twice in the month of July. I’m over the government poisoning the atmosphere with aerosols so they can scream climate change. They need to quit trying to play God, they aren’t. We need our normal rainfall. I am sick of them! Sorry rant over!
Thanks for the video! I'm new to Florida and gardening and so if you could list the names of the seeds you're using and the other plants you mentioned that are native here in the Description Box, it'd be very much appreciated! 😊 I want to order a lot of those seeds online but am not sure on the spelling.
Hey girl, I have a question. I found Common Milkweed seeds at my local hardware store. I take it that these are not the same as the ones you mentioned. I am still germinating them. I won't be harming any butterflies, will I? Secondly, we shall see if the California Wonder bells work in 9b. It's been years since I grew them. I have also done Bullnose and King something. The Giant Ozarks struggled for me. Edited: Watching your Milkweed video next!
You are like my twin sister. Good advice.
You really are the Butterfly Whisperer! Even though my natives have been slow to take off (they can feel my ambivalence, and are just not falling into line), I moved out my passion fruit vines, pots, trellis, supports and all from my screened lanai, out to the hot cruel world (actually a part of my garden storm-proofing). Those established vines actually had problems settling into the blazing sunlight, but now, they are fine…..except there is not a single leaf that is whole. The vine, covered with those spiny little gulf fritillerary caterpillars, frankly, are a bit yuck…..but the cloud of butterflies in the morning to lay their eggs, pollinate my few vegetables…..wow….just wow! So enchanting. Thanks for the magic.
You’re looking good — great energy.
You are SO helpful, oh my gosh. Thank you so much for always trying to include us North FL enthusiasts. I cannot wait to get started in my best friend's yard. We'll be planting in NW FL and definitely paying close attention to your upcoming content!
Thank you! I love your channel! When do you recommend we “start” in South Florida? September?
😊Thanks,Jacqueline with all the helpful info . The nig reds and Monarch have been flying through here in 9b. They seem to love my Vincas and Dianthus. ❤stay cool 😎 enjoy your weekend 🎉
WOW you have a deep knowledge of much more than vegetables. Thank you for sharing.
can it be november already
Packed full of info as usual. ❤ thanks. I did my seed starts this week
Yay! The video I’ve been waiting for ❤❤
That smile🥰
I just got my 1st tiny babies black swallotails in my parsley..yay😆😆 my winter birds are cat birds and tons of wrens
Thank you for explaining that the purple coneflowers we buy may not take off. I have bought two, put them in the ground and they just croaked. I will definitely have to look at the Florida seed you suggested. The American beauty berry I got from wilcox is doing well, and so is the elderberry, and i planted a viburnam as well. I am hoping the fruit will be enjoyed by the birds.
I am pondering a small tree, a large bush to take over what was planted by the bedroom windows, that is more native. I was thinking spicebush but that is more northern. Any suggestions?
I love your channel and even though I moved to Georgia last year, I still watch! BTW, do you know any channels similar to yours but about Georgia?
Our summer rains in Archer have not been consistent for two years now; on a week, off a week. I'm planting Silver Queen this weekend. I expect to have to spray Bt on it constantly for a month to keep the army worms from eating it all. I hope this year to learn how to grow sweet corn, cucumbers and summer squash in the fall.
